From success to misery: story of a mid-major

I love being a college student on Sundays. I do absolutely nothing. I do zero homework, I don't go the gym and, most Sundays, I don't even put pants on. Sorry you had to hear that.

The women's tennis team's dominance of the OVC continued this weekend as the lady Colonels trounced Austin Peay and UT Martin to improve to 17-5 overall and 8-0 in the OVC. "This is the best EKU women's team I've had by far.
